Well I've got good news and bad news.The good news is that I upgraded my mythbox to a dual core amd 64 part (about a year newer than my old chip) and upgraded the ram to 2 Gb and with the new motherboard I was able to get a nvidia gt430. With all those upgrades I can play back the fox programs without stutter !!!!!! yayThe bad news is that the files are still broken it's just that I am overpowering them with hardware...The superbowl ended up being a 24 Gb file that a running time of 00:00:00 and wont play on Windows.Fox is doing something shady but now I know why some people are having issues and others aren't. I have the gt430 doing all the hard work on playback.

For the sake of documenting your details, you kept your hard drive as-is with Knoppmyth R5.5 on it and changed the motherboard, nvidia card and CPU?

actually I was running 6.02 upgraded to 6.03 (with a fresh install of 6.03 I noticed some minor differences). The system is still functional minus the large drive and the tuner card I can boot into it.

Thanks for the clarification mattbatt.

I've been getting crickets from the KMSP tech people for the last month now. I suspect they won't discover/fix the problem, and it's going to end up requiring me to change my beloved, working R5.5 configuration to work around the Fox flaw.

I have no recording equipment at all as I use the tuner built into my Sony Vizio television. And I STILL get stuttering audio on Fox 9 (9.1 in HD). So I don't think it has anything to do with recording equipment or its playback. I truly think this is a problem on the part of Fox 9. I have re-scanned channels countless times and have seen no improvement. So we're forced to watch Fox programming in standard def.

If this is something Fox or Fox 9 Twin Cities is trying to do in order to discourage recording of copywrighted materials (I'm looking at you, NFL), they're doing themselves a disservice because they're also discouraging people from simply watching their broadcasts in HD. Whenever we hear that there's a new show on Fox that we want to watch, we remind ourselves it won't be available in HD and we usually pass on watching it until it hits the Fox website. I'm sure advertisers on Fox would be interested to hear if this problem makes people think twice before watching Fox.
